RE:"I am finally going to admit it - As of now in the PC market, The desktop
K6-III has been a complete failure. Makes you wonder if it was even
worth it for AMD to redesign the K6-2 for the cache and modify its
process for the K6-III for the .25 process."...

The problem is/was that the K6-III couldn't/can't scale any higher than the K6-2. That was/is responsible for the up till now failure of the K6-III. The customer still only knows MHZ. Megahertz sells- (TM-McMannis).
